Alright. Time to start digging in.

Let's kick things off on a whimsy, warm-fuzzy note and on a more local scale. This chick is making "soft-sculpture" everyday objects out of hand-dyed and hand-sewn felt. Everything from blenders to NES to SLR cameras! She also makes monster dolls and robots... sew cute! Pun totally intended there, har har.

I love that her work is inspired by Claes Oldenburg (type his name into Google images and you'll understand why he's one of the pop-art masters).

Word on the street is that Blythe has a new exhibit of her work showing at Argyle Fine Art called The Pitch of the Stitch. I'm going to have to pay a l'il visit myself but for those who can't make it, you'll get a good sense of the show by crusing through the pics on her blog: http://sewnbyblythe.blogspot.com/

What do you think... is this the type of show you'd get up out of your pod to go see?
